...Those are practically the first words to come to a Plebe's ear when he enters West Point. He looks around to see if he is the one being called, and nine chances out of ten, he does not look in vain. For all during the Fourth Class Year, from the minute he enters until the last company has passed in review at Graduation Parade, the Plebe hears the old cry, "You man!" I still have a tendency to stop when I hear some upperclassman call in this fashion...
...academics of the Fourth Class Year do not sound difficult. They consist of advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, plane analytic geometry, French and English.

Forced to segregate many of its properties in 1911 under the anti-trust law, American Tobacco still holds a dominant position in the trade, is said to handle one-third each of the cigaret and smoking tobacco business, and one-fourth of the plug business. Besides Lucky Strike, its brands include Sweet Caporal, Pall Mall, Lord Salisbury, Bull Durham, Tuxedo, Half and Half, Blue Boar, Cremo. But the American Tobacco Co., as all the world knows, has concentrated on Lucky Strikes, for which most of its 1929 advertising budget...
